OP I know you know the answer to this, and I am sorry as well.  He is too young and now he is burnt out from the sport.  Tell him to finish the season and then take a break from the sport.  Try rec next time, something a LOT less intense if it is a sport he wants to keep with or have him pick the sports he will do.

I am a BTDT mom, and caution friends all the time to take it slow.  VERY few kids can handle that level of intensity that young - they are easy to spot because they tend to be intense kids with a lot of energy (who get mean when they are not involved with their sport).

Once you get to travel level, your kid has to be the one to want it, not you.  There are ways to help though.  Invite boys from the team over for playdates, sleepovers, fun excursions, etc.  If they kids are friends then they will generally look forward to practice because they are with their friends.  That is a huge component to any sport/activity.
